My mind is blown. Trumps new tariffs are beyond ridiculous.
2024 Namibia exported 275.2, imported 160.5. Deficit of 114.7 million USD.
114.7/275.2 =0,417
On the list we are at 42%
I just wonder what the distraction and objective is.
Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.
So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

Onguza Bicycles are born in the most unlikely place - Namibia. Here, Miranda Miller takes us inside the brand and the bike

😎 When we tell you that there's only one month to go before the return of Tro Bro Leon
I remember this climb well from the 2014 Commie Games and…. My legs hurt just watching this!

Had a load of fun talking all things @OnguzaBicycles with @deaconnam. Short 15 minute listen.
Did you know that Namibia has it's very own top-end bicycle brand and factory? Listen to founder @DanFromNam telling David more about @ONGUZA in this interview recorded live at the @RMBCIB @WeAreWilderness #RideforRhinos. iono.fm/e/1320168
When I joined Rapha Condor in 2009, I had no idea the impact it would have on my life, my image, or my influence. It was a team that, to me, stood for something more than racing and I learned and grew so much from that.
It needs businesses owned by the people who work there. And all of that needs to be just as visible to the outside world as it is to the man in the street - so that we can be taken seriously. By ourselves and by others.

Bikes are never just bikes. They never have been. My work, my purpose, is to bring more business to Namibia, and building world class bikes is how we are doing it.
